MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholders,
It is an honor and pleasure for me to welcome you all to the Thirty-seventh Annual General
Meeting of your Company and to present the Annual Report for the year ended 30th June 2016.
Global Economy:
The world economy has experienced subdued growth continuing from last year, underperforming
across almost all regions in the last fiscal year. Cyclical movements in growth remain synchronized
among world economies. Looking ahead, global growth is projected to strengthen from 2.4 percent
in 2016 to 2.8 percent in 2017. This is attributable to the renewed increase in financial volatility in
late January although market pressures were relatively broadly based, countries with higher
inflation and wider current account deficits were generally more affected. Some emerging
economies have tightened macroeconomic policies to shore up confidence and strengthen their
commitment to policy objectives. Overall, financial conditions have tightened further in some
emerging market economies, causing cost of capital to increase and this is expected to dampen
investment and weigh on growth.
Downside risks, old and new, still dominate the outlook. Unexpected rapid normalization of U.S.
monetary policy or renewed bouts of high risk aversion on the part of investors could result in
further financial turmoil. With the arrival of a new political system in the USA and the Brexit,
comes new challenges for global markets, with epicentres of power and geopolitics shifting from
the West to the East. This may lead to difficult adjustments in some emerging market economies,
with a risk of contagion and broad-based financial stress, and thus lower growth. Improved ties
with India, Russia and large funds from Chinese sources have been committed for Bangladesh,
which proves to be a big positive sign for the country.
Bangladesh Economy:
Despite social unrest in the first half of fiscal year 2015/16 (July-June), real GDP grew by 7.1%
and the economy is expected to continue to grow at a brisk pace. Bangladesh has set target to be
in the middle-income group status by the year 2021. This is expected to be achieved through
simultaneous improvement of political, economic, social, technological, rule of law and the
environment, leading to eradication of numbers of the absolute poor.
Growth in Bangladesh in FY 2016 (ended 30 June 2016) exceeded expectations, aided by revived
exports and sustained domestic consumption. Inflation was lower than projected, while larger
exports and modest imports kept the current account in a larger surplus. Higher public sector
salaries had an offsetting effect on the decline in remittances in Bangladesh in FY 2016. A rise in
consumer and investor confidence as the political situation stabilized is also a stimulant for
demand and has strengthened growth momentum.
While the economy is likely to retain its competitive advantage in producing clothing and apparel,
rising incomes, better regulation and improved infrastructure will encourage a move towards
higher value-added sectors. This could include the assembly of high-tech goods, boosting trade in
this sector. In the long term, rising Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows should support
investment in Bangladesh. Growing household incomes should open the market for consumer
goods, including high-tech products, however domestic consumer spending must be increased to
sustain the growth of GDP, and the financial sector indeed holds a large role in making this
achievable by offering more consumer centric financial products.
My sincere thanks to all the respectable Shareholders for extending their continuous support and
confidence in the Board of Directors of your Company. I also like to put on record my sincere
appreciation to the Banks, Financial and Regulatory Agencies, Suppliers, Customers, various
people with whom we have interacted in the course of business, management staff and members
of the Company at all levels for their cooperation and sincere efforts in the growth of your
Company.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

Dear Shareholders,
The Directors are pleased to submit to you the Annual Report together with the Auditors Report
and Audited Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended 30th June, 2016.
The Directors Report is prepared in compliance with Section 184 of the Companies Act 1994 and
Bangladesh Securities & Exchange Commissions (BSEC) notification no- SEC/CMRRCD/2006158/134/Admin/44 dated 07th August 2012.
(i)
Industry outlook and possible future developments in the industry:

World shrimp production tops 6 million tonnes a year, of which 70,000 tonnes are produced
in Bangladesh. A few key countries, like China, are at the epicentre of contributing to global
fish supply. Yet other regions, like Southeast and South Asia, also have a major role to play.
One of the key factors of Chinas success in maintaining a highly productive aquaculture
sector is that it has maintained a national extension system for aquaculture that has
continued widespread outreach to producers through well-trained and qualified staff. More
than 70 percent of global aquaculture production is produced by small-to medium-scale
enterprises that are heavily concentrated in Asia in China, India, Vietnam and Indonesia.
The country earned US$ 472.37 million from the sector during the FY 2015-16, whereas US$
502.72 million was earned in the 2014-15 FY. The export earnings from the sector have
declined in the last two years. The export of frozen shrimp registered a negative growth of
6.04 per cent in the fiscal year (FY) 2015-16 compared to that of previous fiscal year.
Bangladesh ranked 5th as aquaculture producing country in the world (FAO, 2015), but the
shrimp industry in Bangladesh still has a long way to go to become a driver of sustainable
and inclusive development in the country, and to achieve this goal, more interventions from
the Government, international organizations and civil society are needed urgently - training
shrimp farmers in best practice, labour law compliance, involving the use of pure organic
feed, and strict monitoring, hygiene and traceability systems.
(ii)
Segment-wise or product-wise performance:

As Apex Foods Limited produces only shrimp there is no scope for Product wise
performance reporting. However, country wise export details are given in note 23 of the
Annual Report.
(iii)
Risks and concerns:

Supply shortage of raw materials is causing problem in processing frozen food while
transport scarcity is compounding the problem of getting the products to sea ports.
Water salinity levels in lands is high in lands adjacent to ponds where the salt loving shrimp
is cultivated, which does not allow for cultivation of vegetables and other livestock.
Therefore, several small-scale suppliers are running out of ways to develop sustainable
growth models. The varieties of freshwater fish cultivated in regions like Khulna are also on a
decline due to water salinity levels. There have also been reports of skin diseases and
vitamin deficiencies in growing children living in these areas.
(iv)
Analysis of Cost of Goods sold, Gross Profit Margin and Net Profit Margin:
(a) Cost of Goods Sold:
This years cost of goods sold was BDT 1,840 million as compared to last years cost of
goods sold of BDT 2,534 million. This is due to decrease in gross turnover along with a
decrease in average production cost of 190/- per Kg. During the year 2,305,436 Kg of
shrimps were produced as against last years production of 2,993,979 Kg. Production
capacity utilized during the year was 32.01%. Raw Material Purchase cost has
decreased to the tune of Tk. 1,029.17 million against last year.

191.52 million as against last years gross profit of Tk. 217.21 million.
(c) Net Profit:
During the year net loss after tax was Tk. 13.23 million as compared to last years Net
Profit (after tax) of Tk. 84.84 million. During the year, the company incurred a net loss
due to decrease in turnover and other income.
(v)
Extra-Ordinary gain or loss:

During the year, there was no realized extra-ordinary gain or loss made by the company. An
amount of Tk. 43.04 million has been shown as Fair Value Surplus of Investment in the
Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income which represents the
difference between the closing price of investment in the Shares of Apex Spinning & Knitting
Mills Limited and Apex Weaving & Finishing Mills Limited and the price shown in the last

Independent Auditors Report

APEX FOODS LIMITED
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Apex Foods Limited ("the Company") which comprise
the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance
with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRS), other applicable laws and regulations, and for such
internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing (BSA). Those standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
we consider internal control relevant to the entitys preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Apex Foods Limited as
at 30 June 2016, and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with
Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

In accordance with the Companies Act, 1994 and the Securities and Exchange Rules, 1987 and we also report the
following:
a)
we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were
necessary for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof;
b)
in our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as it
appeared from our examination of those books;
c)
the statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income dealt with
by the report are in agreement with the books of account; and
d)
the expenditure incurred was for the purposes of the Companys business.

instruments.
Credit risk
Liquidity risk
Market risk
Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the company if a customer or counterparty to a
financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the
company's receivables. Management has a credit policy in place and exposure to credit
risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Risk exposures from other financial assets, i.e.
cash at bank and other external receivable are nominal.
34
APEX FOODS LIMITED
Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will not be able to meet its financial obligations
as they fall due. The company's approach to managing liquidity (cash and cash
equivalents) is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to
meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring
unacceptable losses or risking damage to the company's reputation. Typically, the
company ensures that it has sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet expected
operational expenses, including financial obligation through preparation of the cash flow
forecast, prepared based on time line of payment of the financial obligation and
accordingly arrange for sufficient liquidity/fund to make the expected payment within due
date.
In extreme stressed conditions, the company may get support from the related company in
the form of short term financing but till to date this was not required as the Company has
not faced such a situation.
Market risk:
Market risk is the risk that any change in market prices such as foreign exchange rates
and interest will affect the company's income or the value of its holdings of financial
instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market
risk exposures within acceptable parameters.
(a) Currency risk:
As at 30th June 2016 there was no exposure of currency risk which significantly
affected the foreign currency transactions made during the year under review.
(b) Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that arises due to changes in interest rates on borrowing.
There was no such foreign currency loan which is subject to floating rates of interest.
Local loans are, however, not significantly affected by fluctuations in interest rates. The
Company has not entered into any type of derivative instrument in order to hedge
interest rate risk as at the reporting date.
y. Comparative information:
Comparative information have been disclosed in respect of the year 2014-15 for all
numerical information of the financial statements and also the narrative and descriptive
information when it is relevant for understanding of the current periods financial
statements.
Last year's figures have been rearranged where considered necessary to conform to
current years presentation.
z. Reporting currency and level of precision:

been rounded-off to nearest Taka.
